Foundations in Hypnosis Certification Course • March 4-9, 2018REGISTER TODAY! Call 800-333-4499 or go to EdgarCayce.org/conferences

HYPNOSIS DATES BACK to ancient times as a natural healing art, and has proven itself as an effective therapeutic modality. Interest in hypnosis, also called hypnotherapy, continues to grow, and since its 1958 en-

dorsement by the AMA there has been a notable expansion in its acceptance, applications, and methods.

“The story of Edgar Cayce properly be-longs in the history of hypnosis . . .” With these words, Thomas Sugrue began his biography of Cayce, There Is a River.

Like Edgar Cayce, many of us have been working with some form of hypnosis during our life’s journey as we attempt to gain a better understanding of our true nature and purpose here in the earth.

This week-long intensive training is designed to take you from beginner level through intermediate and more advanced hypnosis and trance induction skills. Whether you are new to hypnosis or an experienced practitioner, you will ben-efit from the unique, transformative, transpersonal methods that are soundly based in the most current theories taught by an experienced, highly-trained presenter—Jason Parker, PhD, MHt.

This course will include lectures, experiential exercises, small group work, individual and group inductions, insights from the Edgar Cayce readings, lots of Q&A and case examples from Dr. Parker’s years as a therapist, and time for independent research and practice.

FOUNDATIONS IN HYPNOSIS: Training and Certification Coursewith Jason Parker, PhD, MHt

Enter a new career, enhance your current practice, or use hypnosis as a valuable tool for personal and soul growth.DURING THIS EXCEPTIONAL PROGRAM YOU WILL:

• Have multiple opportunities to experience and practice hypnosis as both client and practitioner.

• Learn the underlying neuropsychological support for the hypnotic trance which is backed by mainstream science.

• Explore the many uses for hypnosis, including past-life regression, weight control, smoking cessation, addiction and phobia reduction, alleviating stress, painmanagement and past-life regression.

• Discover ways hypnosis can be used to enhance sports performance, improve memory and comprehension, improve self-image, and aid in memory retrieval and past-life recall.

• Learn what to expect once a client has “gone into trance,” in both theory and practice, as well as techniques for handling unusual experiences.

• Discuss professional ethics, hypnotic language patterns, and tips for starting your own hypnosis practice.

Edgar Cayce’s experience with hypnosis and his views on the nature of conscious-ness and integrating body-mind-spirit will also be explored.

Whether you are a novice or advanced practitioner, layperson, academic, or medical professional, this course is designed to give

you the tools you need to create positive and lasting change.

Edgar Cayce himself recommended hypnosis as a tool for healing and transformation. He advised that “the study of self…may best be done by suggestive forces to the body through hypnosis.”

This course is designed to meet the requirements of professional hypnosis organizations and certifying bodies. Although this seminar will provide you with a foundation in hypnosis, each state has its own laws and regulations on the practice of hypnosis and hypnotherapy and it is the student’s responsibility to use course content in compliance with the legal requirements of his or her own state. Additional course requirements and practicums may be required.

Information and RegistrationIn preparation for this course, Dr. Parker recommends that attendees have experi-enced at least one hypnosis session. He also recommends advance reading of Self-Hypnosis: Creating Your Own Destiny by Henry Leo Boldoc, which is available free online at HenryBolduc.com or for hard copy purchase through our bookstore. This text will be required for use during the course. He also recommends Meditation, Prayer, and Affirmations and The Power of Your Mind, both by Edgar Cayce, and Edgar Cayce Reading Circulating File #21335 “Hypnosis,” available through Customer Service by calling toll free 800-333-4499. Once you suc-cessfully complete the course, complete an induction assignment (due at class end), and pass a final exam given at the end of class, you will receive a certificate of completion by the A.R.E. The A.R.E. is a member of the American Hypnosis Association.
